Tsali advice

[KevinGT]

I live in NE Atlanta and it's only about 2.5 hours to Tsali. I've never ridden there but I hear great things.

I'm hoping someone can answer a few questions.

- Where exactly is the trailhead parking area?
- I see that the trails alternate in pairs by day for which are horse and which are mountain bike. Left and Right are one group and Mouse and Thompson are another group. Do they still alternate in that fashio?
- Looking at Left and Right, is that center trail that they share actually paved or dirt? Do most people who ride Left and Right do both and skip the North-south center trail? What's the most common route?


TIA!

1. Turn at the Tsali entrance off 28 and just go all the way to the end. You will end up in a campground, a parking lot, or the lake. Take your pick but if you are just there for the day and don't have a boat I'd suggest the parking lot which is in the middle. Google is your friend.
2.yes, this might help Which Tsali trail is more fun R/L or T/M?
3. See #2

I prefer riding Right loop counter clockwise and left loop counter clockwise skipping county line road. I find Thompson flows better clockwise and Mouse is a fantastic ride clockwise. Usually I'll ride Thompson clockwise hit Mouse Clockwise and ride Thompson counterclockwise on the way out.

Tsali's trails are fantastic in either direction. Have a safe, fun trip!

Tsali is TRBL (unless you're into greenways)....save yourself some drive time and go to Pisgah Proper instead.
